Barcelona have had a £16million offer accepted for the Emirates Stadium favourite and, are all set to complete the summer's most high-profile transfer.

Henry is to undergo a routine medical on Monday and if, as expected, there are no complications, then he will be presented to the media and supporters alike. 

The 29-year-old Frenchman arrived in Barcelona on Sunday evening on a private jet and was welcomed at the airport by club officials.

Henry's departure has been greeted in North London with a mixture of disappointed and frustration on the part of the Arsenal supporters but on Monday, in front of the Barcelona faithful, his appearance is likely to be greeted with fevered excitement.
